The Hagþenkir Award was presented at a ceremony in Þjóðarbókhlaða, the library building at Arngrímsgata 3, on 6 March. It went to Kristín Svava Tómasdóttir for her book Stund klámsins. Klám á Íslandi á tímum kynlífsbyltingarinnar (The Hour of Porn: Pornography in Iceland in the Era of the Sexual Revolution), published by Sögufélag (the Icelandic Historical Society).
In its citation the award committee said of the book: “A pioneering work on the history of pornography and sexuality in Iceland, based on revealing research into difficult material.”
Jón Yngvi Jóhannsson, chair of Hagþenkir (Association of Writers of Non-fiction and Educational Material), presented the award, which consists of a signed certificate and ISK 1,250,000. Music was performed by Tómas R. Einarsson and Sigríður Thorlacius, including settings of poems by Kristín Svava Tómasdóttir. For the occasion a small exhibition has been set up in Þjóðarbókhlaða, showing the book and various papers connected with its making.
